The upcoming revision of the EU Bioeconomy Strategy and the 2026 update of the Circular Economy Act (CEA) are key opportunities to define the future of bio-based plastics in Europe. Including binding targets within these frameworks could drive demand and support the sustainable growth of a carbon-capturing solution.
Current failures in the market has resulted in the environmental costs of fossil plastics not being reflected in their price, severely undermining the competitiveness of sustainable alternatives such as bio-based plastics. Without clear policy intervention, this cost imbalance hinders market growth and investment. Concurrently, sustainable sourcing remains a significant concern, raising important questions about the production processes of bio-based plastics and their long-term sustainability.
This event will address these challenges, explore what a clear sustainability criteria should look like, and evaluate the net gain of the integrating bio-based plastics into the revised Bioeconomy Strategy.
This event is by invitation only
